AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY - HANFORD CA
331 AM PST WED FEB 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION BRINGING
CHANCES FOR RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING.
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...THERE ALSO IS EXPECTED TO BE AN INCREASE IN
WINDS FOR THE SIERRA AND NEARBY FOOTHILLS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY
MORNING. OTHERWISE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE END OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

COLD FRONT IS MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE CWA ATTM AND WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE FA TODAY WITH A NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE
THUNDERSTORMS...ESP IN THE SIERRA AND OVER THE KERN DESERT REGION.
SPC HAS US IN A SEE TEXT AREA FOR THIS REGION AND HAVE INCLUDED
THUNDER IN THE FORECAST BASED ON SOME UNSTABLE CONDITIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW THAT IS QUICKLY MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA.

THE LOW SLIDES SOUTH OF THE AREA AND IS TRYING TO SET UP A FLOW
THAT IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE SIERRA RANGE. THIS PATTERN IS
FAVORABLE FOR A POSSIBLE MONO WIND EVENT. HOWEVER THERE ARE
SEVERAL OTHER FACTORS THAT ARE LACKING FOR A STRONG MONO WIND
EVENT. WINDS WILL PROBABLY NOT REACH THE FOOTHILLS DUE TO THE WEAK
GRADIENTS WE ARE SEEING WITH THE MODELS. ALSO WE LIKE TO SEE A
STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT BASIN AND THIS IS NOT
HAPPENING EITHER AND FINALLY THE MODELS ARE NOT INDICATING STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION TOWARDS THE SIERRA AND THE H850 TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT IS VERY WEAK AS WELL. WE DO NOT FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT
THE MONO EVENT WILL HAPPEN AT ALL. HOWEVER THE WATCH IS OUT AND
THE MODELS COULD CHANGE ON THE NEXT RUN. WE ARE NOT EXPECTING THIS
EVENT UNTIL TONIGHT AND THE DAY SHIFT CAN EVALUATE THE NEW
GUIDANCE AND MAKE THE DECISION TO EITHER CANCEL THE WATCH OR
UPGRADE IT TO A WARNING.

QPF AMOUNTS ARE LIGHT ENOUGH WITH THIS SYSTEM TO REMAIN BELOW
WATCH...WARNING OR ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR A WINTER STORM EVENT. THE
SYSTEM WILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY TONIGHT. WE MAY SEE SOME POST
FRONTAL STRATUS DEVELOP ALONG THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDES OF THE
SJV TONIGHT AND WED. AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD ON OVER THE CENTRAL CA
INTERIOR BY THURSDAY AND REMAIN THROUGH SAT. A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON SAT AND A SECONDARY AND
STRONGER TROUGH WILL DIG IN OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY. NW FLOW WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE REGION THROUGH WED OF NEXT WEEK WITH SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...
IN THE KERN COUNTY MOUNTAINS...IFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL ALONG THE
NORTH FACING SLOPES OF THE TEHACHAPI MOUNTAINS THROUGH 16Z WED.
AREAS OF LIFR/VLIFR CAN BE EXPECTED IN PRECIPITATION BETWEEN 16Z
WEDNESDAY AND 03Z THURSDAY. ADDITIONALLY...SFC WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 35 KNOTS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 18Z WEDNESDAY AND 12Z
THURSDAY.

IN THE FOOTHILLS AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA...IFR
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM 12Z WEDNESDAY UNTIL 20Z WEDNESDAY
DUE TO PRECIPITATION AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. MVFR WITH LOCAL IFR
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER 20Z WEDNESDAY WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS. NORTH TO NORTHEAST SFC WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS WILL
OCCUR OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA BETWEEN 18Z WEDNESDAY
